I'll do my best. I do tend to over extend myself and get a little over my head. But I think it should be okay if I take it a thing a time. The race as a starting class in Dark Souls is a pretty good comparison actually. Any skills you don't start with here you'll be able to learn or find in other locations in the game. And the stat bonuses will be minor enough that you shouldn't have to grind your way up to compensate.
Kobolds have been getting a lot more attention lately and getting a pretty big niche fandom around them. So it kinda makes sense. I just didn't realize it had gotten this deep. You might be right that the cult following is just chopping at the bit for a kobold game.
